Question

Point N is on line segment MO. Given MO = 3x - 10, NO = x, and M N = 8,
determine the numerical length of MO.

Answer 1

Answer:

MO = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to define what if the unknown x.

segment MN and NO are equal to MO.

thus, your equation for the combination is x +8

Now set the values equal to each other

x + 8 = 3x - 10 (subtract x from both sides)

8 = 2x - 10 ( get your x value alone, add 10 to both sides)

18 = 2x (simplfy)

x = 9

Now plug x value into MO

3 (9) - 10 = 17

Check with opposing equation:

9 + 8 = 17 √
